Re: Anyone hands on ref these Rifles

I had a Howa and it was an absolute tack driver. Haven't had any experience with the Steyr though.
 
Re: Anyone hands on ref these Rifles

I have had a Steyr SBS tactical and currently have a Steyr SSG-04, love them both.
 
Re: Anyone hands on ref these Rifles

Steyrs will ALL be accurate if they are of the SSG or "SBS Tactical" persuasion. Don't know about their "hunters". From what I've seen Howa's can be hit of miss and are generally A LOT cheaper. FWIW...
 
Re: Anyone hands on ref these Rifles

A shooting buddy of mine who works for DHS-ICE has the Steyr SSG. It's a very, very nice piece of kit. I haven't shot it, but we've shot together and as best I can tell, it's dead nuts accurate. Now if I could convince him to get rid of the Tasco scope... There should be a law...

Cheers,

Sirhr
